Ahh yes, thanks mate! Ive been working my way through that too! But must have missed a few things somewhere :)

Part 14 I had thought about what to do with the vent hole at the back of the printer, maybe im not understanding exactly how it should work, but it seems that I want to keep as much heat in the chmaber as I can (50 - 60c) plus I dont want the ABS stink being push out of the printer either...

Part 13 It had been suggested to me by multiple people in the know that having temp probes in certain spots around the printer could be handy. I had a bunch of generic probes arrive a while ago, and thought I might as well put them to use. I ended up with one to measure the chamber temp, one...

Part 12 Thought the Brush and purge bucket was a cool idea, so with my 'temp' panels, printed it out, plus another mount for the Klicky probe. Only to find that they interfere a bit. No worries...time for the old Dremel fix the issue. That fixed it easy enough!

Tuning - Part 11 For some reason, I cant seem to get rid of the stringing with PLA, maybe its just this filament etc, but even with a retract of 3mm, it wouldnt go away. So...I thought, "bugger it", time to try ABS, first I had to build a temp enclosure... Yes , I know its dodgey, and I...

Tuning - Part 10 Tuning the gantry belts with the Spectrum analyser was cool! I started the run through Mr Ellis' print tuning guide, and wow....its at this point I really understood how different Klipper is to the Duet system. Pressure advance, and "Squish" meant nothing to me. (Until I...

The Build - Part 9: Its finished! Well.....the basic functionality anyway, it still needs a LOT of work! And after a bit a fluffy around with initial setup, a even a first print! And then...gave the bed a bit of a scrub as ive been told thats the thing to do :D At this point.....I...

Thanks mate, you are 100% right, I shouldnt worry out it. :) Can you beleive its doing its first print!

The Build - Part 8: Im not sure how many times I changed the layout of the electronics, wanting to have it use the whole space giving me heaps of room for wiring etc....but it just didnt work out that way! While the pre made wiring with the FB kit is really nice, and did save a HEAP of...

The Build - Part 7: I ordered the Dragon hotend as the option for the printer, and it took me a little while to figure out how to mount it! For those doing this build, it may help. Take the top off it! ahaha, sounds simple right, but it wasnt immediatley obvious to me :D Once that was...

The Build - Part 6: Building the gantry was fun! It was great to learn more about the belt paths, and how the printer works mechanically. More hot inserts , and assembly. I used yet more printed tools / assistance to mount the gantry in the frame., these little twist in hangers held the...

The Build - Part 5: Putting the magnetic sheet and heater on the bed wasnt anywhere near as much of a hassle as I thought it was going to be, just watched a couple of videos, got myself some gloves, found an old roller I had used to install car insulation, and got to it :) I gave the bed a...

The Build - Part 4: I tell you, the first time you melt those inserts into printed parts it can be a little worrying! For myself, I didnt like the idea of using the iron to melt them in until they looked flush, seemed like to much chance of human related stuff ups to me :D So I would push...

The Build - Part 3: After being amazing at the quality of the printed parts a bit more, I then decided to prepare the linear rails. After watching a couple of videos on it, I seperated the best ones out for the gantry, then cleaned and greased all of them with some EP2 grease I had on hand...

The Build - Part 2: To get the centre extrusions aligned properly, I used these easily printed tools. While It wouldnt have been hard to just used a tape measure, I aways like to use guides like these when doing things, and feel they did help. And then, the printed parts arrived...
